New Music Monday

It's Monday already! BUT I've got a great song cued up for your pleasure all week. I choose this song for one reason, our adoption. This song reminds me of our wait in this adoption and how painful it can be. Although the song has NOTHING to do with adoption the first lines remind me of our journey and the wait for the CCAA to make it to our folder....Time goes by so slowlyTime goes by so slowlyTime goes by so slowlyTime goes by so slowlyTime goes by so slowlyTime goes by so slowly

Every little thing that you say or doI'm hung upI'm hung up on youWaiting for your callBaby night and dayI'm fed upI'm tired of waiting on you.

This weeks post I'm not going to spend any time with info on the artist, all I'm gonna say is I AM A HUGE FAN, always have been and always will be. Madonna is in my book a goddess. So today I'll lay it all out there about this kick ass dance hall song.

Hung Up is the number one single (in 45 countries) on the November 2005 release, "Confessions On A Dance Floor". The tune is based on ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)." and was the first time ABBA granted the use of their music. In the song, Madonna samples herself with references to her previous recordings in the lyrics, including "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" and "Love Song" (her 1989 duet with Prince). She commented at the time of the song's release '...that the new breed of female rock stars had been copying her for years, so I thought it was about time I copied myself!"

Time goes by so slowly for those who waitNo time to hesitateThose who run seem to have all the funI'm caught upI don't know what to do

Time goes by so slowlyTime goes by so slowlyTime goes by so slowlyI don't know what to do

Every little thing that you say or doI'm hung upI'm hung up on youWaiting for your callBaby night and dayI'm fed upI'm tired of waiting on you

Every little thing that you say or doI'm hung upI'm hung up on you

Having sold more than 8.7 million copies worldwide in only 7 months, "Hung Up" holds the record for reaching the number one position in the most countries for a single. This record was listed in the 2007 edition of Guinness Book of World Records. It's also the third biggest selling dance single of all time. With Hung Up Madonna achieved her 25th gold single surpassing the Beatles for the most gold singles of all time. Obviously "Hung Up" is one of the biggest hit singles in Madonna's career, ranked by the United World Chart as the fourth most successful song of the decade and the forty-third most successful song in music history.

Waiting for your callBaby night and dayI'm fed upI'm tired of waiting on you

Ring ring ring goes the telephoneThe lights are on but there's no-one homeTick tick tock it's a quarter to twoAnd I'm doneI'm hanging up on you

I can't keep on waiting for youI know that you're still hesitatingDon't cry for me'cause I'll find my wayyou'll wake up one daybut it'll be too late

Every little thing that you say or doI'm hung upI'm hung up on youWaiting for your callBaby night and dayI'm fed upI'm tired of waiting on you

Every little thing that you say or doI'm hung upI'm hung up on youWaiting for your callBaby night and dayI'm fed upI'm tired of waiting on you

With the recent disappointing news from our agency, (they did not get their Hague accreditation - more on that in another post), this song is being played constantly while I get my anger out. I hope you add it to your iPod and add it to your most played list. Now I'm off to dance the day away and sing at the top of my lungs so that the CCAA can hear my voice. Hope everyone has a wonderful week and can enjoy a little Madonna when they stop by. See ya next Monday!
